      Here's a great fact: of the 14,783 place-names recorded in the Domesday Book, only 1,219 no longer exist. That's an impressive survival! (Hall, 2012 Palmer, 2007)

      Is there any geographical bias to those that have disappeared?

      Not that I've seen mentioned. I believe that it's often smaller settlements - perhaps because fewer people knew the name

      Thanks - I wondered if there might be any areas that had been depopulated or cleared by landed interests

      There's a great discussion of the evidence base here, fwiw :)https://www.academia.edu/2977260/The_Instability_of_Place-Names_in_Anglo-Saxon_England_and_Early_Medieval_Wales_and_the_Loss_of_Roman_Toponymy …

      It's a fascinating essay, isn't it! Nice to have someone addressing some of the place-name studies objections to the historical/archaeological rejection of post-Roman population replacement!

      We can always trust Alaric! I've always found the contrast between the comparatively high Celtic/British survival in PNs and the tiny survival in language striking, but haven't really seen proper discussion of what the PN evidence means before.

      Yes! It was definitely needed for the PN evidence, but Alaric's model now makes the language evidence stand out even more dramatically...!

      I do like his Cornish chronology - the data matches the political shift so neatly.

      It really does! I also like his points on the Welsh evidence; esp noteworthy for me was how we have only 1–2% of 6thC & earlier names surviving there too...!
